Consumer Description

A SPARK PLUG BLEW OUT OF MY 2000 FORD EXCURSION TODAY ON MY WAY HOME. IT WAS A LOUD BANG, I THOUGHT THE EXHAUST MANIFOLD CRACKED OR MUFFLER WENT. APPARENTLY THIS IS A COMMON PROBLEM THAT FORD WILL NOT REPAIR. IT WILL COST ABOUT $4500. TO FIX. I AM VERY SURPRISED THAT I DID NOT HEAR THIS ON THE NEWS, IT HAS HAPPENED TO MANY FORD OWNERS BUT NEVER HEARD ABOUT IT UNTIL I HAD THIS ISSUE. IT IS VERY UNFAIR THAT IT IS A COMMON PROBLEM WITH FORD AND THE GOVERNMENT DOES NOT ENFORCE A RECALL. FORD RECALLED BUT DID NOT CORRECT THE CRUISE CONTROL DEFECT THAT COULD CAUSE A FIRE. FIRE...THAT IS ENOUGH REASON TO RECALL THE VEHICLE. *TR
